 Fox Duo-Lite Avon Rod     12ft    2 tops/4 tips

ARD015

RRP £99.99        OUR PRICE  £89.99

Designed for traditional Avon style fishing in mind where chub and barbel are being targeted this twin tip Duo-Lite Avon is supplied with a 1 lb solid tip and a Ύ lb quiver tip which accepts four interchangeable quivers. These interchangeable tips allow you to match the test curve to achieve maximum bite detection depending upon the swim you are fishing and the mood of the fish.

Often small river chubbing can vary from rod wrenching takes through to the tiniest tremor on a delicate tip. The beauty of the Duo-Lite Avon is that it comprehensively copes with a wide variety of methods. In fact everything from free lining floating breadcrust through to rolling meat, trotting maggots and even static feeder and leger fishing.

Although this is not a specialist barbel rod it will easily handle medium sized fish in snaggy swims and with care even extracts much larger doubles from clearer swims.

We all know how tricky big winter roach can be and using the lightest glass quiver you will be able to detect the slightest of bites from huge winter red fins.

The Duo-Lite Avon also makes a brilliant stillwater rod for both leger and feeder work whilst targeting tench and bream and is equally at home fishing for big perch with worms and small livebaits.

This has to be one of the most versatile rods around actually belying the Avon badge on which it is proudly based.

 Fox Duo-Lite Barbel Xtra Rod     11ft    2 tops/4 tips

ARD018

RRP £119.99        OUR PRICE  £89.99

This is undoubtedly the ultimate big barbel rod. If you are targeting the monsters of the Great Ouse, Avon and the Dorset Stour then this is definitely the rod for you. It is a very powerful tool that comes with both a solid and quiver tip that has a 1 Ύ lb rating.

Snaggy and weedy swims where the use of heavy lines and big leads are required are just perfect bedfellows for the Barbel Xtra. The brute power of big doubles can be easily tamed with this very special tool. The progressive action has stacks of hidden backbone that will literally stop those big whiskers in their tracks. As well as targeting the small southern river monsters the Barbel Xtra doubles up nicely as a big feeder rod on wider and deeper rivers like the Severn and the Trent.

The solid 1 Ύ lb tip is forgiving enough to use with the latest trend towards specialist braided lines which has now become the vogue method for bolt rig fishing with semi fixed leads on many of the tough southern rivers.

Fishing with non-stretch braid is also ideal for trundling meat and touch legering in times of flood and heavy water conditions. The interchangeable quiver tip section comes into its own for upstream work where you would expect dropbacks and also absorbing debris and heavy current to ensure that the rig does not get moved out of position. This is a very serious rod for equally serious fish.

 Fox Duo-Lite Floodwater Barbel Rod   12ft  2 tops/4 tips

ARD021

RRP £139.99        OUR PRICE  £116.99

This is the first barbel rod to be specifically designed for floodwater fishing. The very unique blank will cope with just about every situation you are likely to encounter during times of flood on both large and small rivers. It also doubles up as a perfect hit and hold rod for snag fishing where heavy lines and strong hooks are needed.

It is supplied with both a solid and a push in quiver tip rated at 2 Ύ lb. The interchangeable tips are rated at 4 and 6 oz for the softer glass versions and 5 and 7 oz for the stiffer carbon versions. The Floodwater Barbel has stacks of hidden power allowing you to easily use massive feeders and heavy legerweights up to about 6 oz. Some of the biggest barbel have been caught in these tricky floodwater conditions but to be successful it is imperative that you have the right rod for the job.

Although there is an amazing amount of power to cope with big leads and feeders the tips are surprisingly forgiving and actually act as a built in shock absorber so that you don’t straighten or pull some of the smaller hooks.

Whilst most floodwater fishing is conducted downstream which is perfect for the solid tip, the quiver tip really comes into its own when you are fishing upstream. The selection of interchangeable tips allow you to use just the right power to tension against the rig without dislodging it. These tips also absorb fluctuating currents and cushion much of the debris that is being brought down on the rising river.

So whether you are fishing in snags with heavy tackle or with huge leads in heavy water conditions the Barbel Floodwater will allow you to easily extract those big doubles from their hidey holes.

 Fox Duo-Lite Barbel Rod       12ft    2 tops/4 tips

ARD017

RRP £99.99        OUR PRICE  £89.99

This is a delightful all round barbel rod to cover most of your leger and feeder work on both small and medium sized rivers. It is supplied with both a solid and push in quiver tip rated at 1 1/2 lb. The Barbel Duo-Lite has been designed to fish with feeders and legerweights up to 3 oz in weight and hook links as low as 4 lb breaking strains. Both tips are forgiving allowing you to use hooks down to about size 16 without fear of straightening or pulling. This is the perfect rod for pellet, boilie, particle and maggot work on rivers like the Avon, Stour, Kennet, Teme and even the Upper Severn.

The action is such that there is loads of hidden power to keep big fish under control whilst at the same time you have the assurance that you don’t get smashed on small hooks and light links. The solid tip is just perfect for the traditional downstream work whilst the quiver tip section and its interchangeable tips are ideal for detecting upstream dropbacks as well as absorbing fluctuating currents and debris to ensure that the rig isn’t dislodged.

Although this rod was originally designed with barbel in mind it is also ideally suited for stillwater long range feeder work when targeting species like tench and bream.
